Activity Description

Antimicrobial Stewardship is about the right approach to treatment of an infection
along with how to communicate and convince the healthcare team to take the correct
approach to that patient. This activity will discuss some of the behavioral approaches
and physiological principles of behavior as it relates to antimicrobial stewardship.
Interventions that have been shown to produce positive changes will be reviewed to
help identify which of these will be most likely to work in your practice setting.
